    That was a pretty intelligent move by the catholic church back in the day's as on the date we celebrate christmas there was the germanic / celtic winter solstice so people where used to celebrating on that date and they only had to change the name ;)

    Hi Manoj....

    You are mistaken as far as I know it was the same day when Jesus Christ was born.....

    Wrong, Jesus was born in Bethlehem in a manger with animals such as lambs. Lambs back then as in Israel now are born in the spring. The star of Bethlehem was in reality Haley's Comet. Using computors we have determined that Haley's comet which passes by the earth every 78 years, passed by the year Jesus was born in April of that year. (April 4 to be exact.)

    Check your facts....December 25th was not celebrated as Jesus's "birthday" until 350 years later when the Roman emperor Constantine the Great made it so and chose this date.
    Why December 25th? Because this was a well celebrated pagen holiday and he wanted to use this date to compete with and eventually kill the pagan celebrations.

    What Constantine did was to cleverly market Christianity by choosing December 25th as Jesus's day of birth.

    On the contrary, Christmas is big business and the Christmas season is the biggest online money maker there is. Learning about the origins of Christmas is not bad policy if you're wanting to understand your customer and their needs at this specific time of year.

    Now is the time to cater to those that celebrate the Greek Orthodox Christmas.(January 7,Russians, Serbs, Ethiopians, etc.). Educate yourself and go out there and make some money.:)

    That's incredibly naive, ask any Christian cleric and they will happily acknowledge that the celebration of Christ's birth doesn't happen on the actual day. It isn't a secret.

    I agree with Spoiltdiva. It is not actually 25th of December.

    Can you please share your opinion about, why you can't use Google or Wikipedia to answer this very simple question?

    Thank you.

    The better question is, why are threads like this created in the first place? :)
